Independent urban legend tracking and fact-checking website Snopes took a huge amount of fire on Saturday after marking a true story about President Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards “false” — so much heat that eventually they reversed their own ruling and the story is now marked “true” on the site.
At issue was a photo of Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards, which went viral on the right leaning side of social media before garnering enough attention to warrant a Snopes check.
The photo, which shows Biden wearing (a) hard hat backwards, was included in the Snopes article that first called the story false.

I find it hard to believe anyone pays attention to snoops. They may as well put their trust in msnbc or cnn.

The Knotseez at Snopes want you to adhere to their propaganda.

Snopes has been entirely debunked, a totally crap, fraudulent political coverup site. Worthless, actually worse than worthless because some fools still trust their lies.

Not nearly as embarrassing as putting on your jockey shorts on backwards.

They sure tried hard to fool everyone as some sort of authority that should be believed.

This is what happens when ‘momma’ has to dress you every day to go out and play. He can’t even handle these fundamental tasks.

Why would someone wear a hard hat to drink beer in a bar?
How long did biden wear the hard hat backwards?
Were the other men in the photo happy to be with biden or happy to see biden make a fool of himself?

This is double bad for them because it they thought even for a second that they would have to label it true they would have just buried it.

This is a perfect example of the embarrassing schiff that can happen to you when your sole mission in life is to be a partisan flack.

Unless Biden was planning on doing some welding (and I didn't see hide nor hair of a welding mask anywhere in his photo-op), wearing a hard hat backward is about as authenticate as... well, pretty much everything else he says or does.

Having worn a hard hat on occasion, I can't imagine wearing it like Joe did.

And there you have it: proof in real time that the emperor has no clothes—while the sycophants celebrate his latest outfit.
I can’t believe I actually witnessed this metaphor come to life.

It's a stupid article, because we all know he's an idiot! What's frightening, is a bunch of working (?) people pushing to get next to the idiot for a picture. Going to be famous for standing next to an idiot and grinning like a fool!

#18 - One thing I noticed about those grinning "fools"; they were giving Trump's signature "thumbs up" sign. They're hard working rank-and-file union guys, the bedrock of Trump supporters. Perhaps they were trolling the Big Guy.

Pardon a second a thought...perhaps they put the hat on Biden knowing the dementia patient wouldn't have clue and neither would that gal who combs her hair with a fork.

#3, I've worn my hardhat backwards when I worked throwing chain on a drilling rig floor. The bill gets in the way when the elevators come screaming down putting drill stem down hole. It would ruin your whole day to get whacked by those.
